    A Dogwood and Hickory Bowl

    I'm heading down to my father's for the weekend and we're each donating some pieces to help raise funds for a another mission trip to Honduras this summer. Here are a couple of simple bowls I recently turned and will be donating for the cause.

    Spalted Dogwood Bowl
    6" diameter 2" deep
    MS/BLO/VAR finish

    Wormy Hickory Bowl
    6" diameter 3" deep
    MS/BLO/VAR finish

    Comments and critiques welcome.

    Beautiful Raymond. Have you ever seen any hickory that wasn't wormy. I sure haven't. Great turnings for a great cause, what a great combination!
